Arcane Fans BLOWN AWAY by League of Legends - The Call Cinematic ( 2022) 

From a league player, please don't check the 2023 cinematic. It's a disappointment

Arcane pulled me back in league! Be careful, don't repeat my mistake!

Pantheon. The Leonidas look alike. Is my favorite Champion in the game. Not for the game play but because of how fleshed out his lore is and how it ties to League of Legends realm overall. In "The Call" Atreus, Pantheon is Ascending mount Targon. The roughest mountain in all the realm which is burdened by bad weather and other obstacles. He does this as a normal human being. Something that is almost impossible to other mortal men. He fights the guards at the top of the mountain barehanded because they are just normal mortal men like him who are being manipulated by the gods which he has beef with plainly because of this. Fights Leona the Aspect or "God" of the Sun with his spear and stands his ground as a man. And takes a comet face and shield first As a man. And finally falls off the mountain only to rise again as a Man. Only when he looks upon a broken battlefield of men from his faction and the faction of Aspects does he regain the will to fight once more using the powers of a Dead god does he ascend to the heavens to challenge the gods again.

I love how fluent you guys are in sharing your thoughts. So I'll help with the lore of the video if you don't already know. The first character (Fiery Sheep Man) is Ornn, the god of the forge. His scene is a huge deal because he vowed never to forge a weapon ever again and him breaking that vow means something cataclysmic will come. The Leonidas looking guy is Atreus who wields the power of the aspect of war known as Pantheon. He's making he's way back to the mountain to enter the gate (guarded by the soldiers) to Targon Prime (celestial realm/Olympus but better) but he was shunned by Leona (Fire sword armor lady). She is the Aspect of the Sun (sun goddess) however the one that blasted him off the mountain wasn't her but a Cosmic Dragon named Aurelion Sol who's beginning to break loose from the curse placed by the aspects (gods & goddesses) of Targon Prime. Lady with the boar is Senjuani and her clan seeking for a lost artifact made by Ornn. However it is in the hands of the Volibear, god of the storm and brother to Ornn. He's the bear cloud you get a glimpse at after the bear shaman. Those bear people are actually just shamans who worship the Volibear to the point that they become beasts. Lastly are Taliya (earth bender girl) and Kaisa (violet carapace lady) I forgot a lot of details but they were supposed to find Taliya's people there but the place was already infested with the xersai and their mother (the biggest monster) Reksai. There's another cinematic showing what happened to Kaisa after she fell down with the monster you should check it out.

i am french and it's very good react, you don't talk during the cutscene and that's great you're there admiring the cutscene with the shivers and the rising smile that's the real reaction video i want

Your wife has to be in every reaction, period! If she wants to of course. There have been only a few reactions from those who dont play Leagur that I enjoy and she is just very detail attentive and commentative. I love how she respects and takes the time to watch the cinematic in order to give her opinions later on.

Pantheon just reached lvl 6

Great breakdown and insight. Love the combination of returning League player who (forgive me if this is incorrect) is not huge into the lore of the game/world/characters mixed with someone who has never played League and is fairly new to the world the characters inhabit. This combo gives a great mixed review with totally different viewpoints and you both seemed to pick up on different things in the video based on what you came into it knowing and what you observed in the watching. I also agree with your wife (who is beautiful btw) that I can appreciate when female characters are presented in a not totally sexualized way (though there is plenty of fan service out there lol) and with you about how Riot is so good at having strong female characters.

First video ive watched from you guys. Im loving this so so much. Looking forward to watching you guys react to the other ones.

Chills. Every time

great cinematic/song choice to react to. Also Im so hyped that season 2 of arcane is on its way, Idk if the exact time frame has been announced (so its possible it may not be till like nov, dec) but it is supposed to arrive sometime this year. After 2 years the journey will continue :)

I really liked your analysis ^^ Have a nice day and have fun in the League of Legends lore !

As a league player I recommend the league card game Legends of Runeterra as a better way to appreciate the storytelling of Arcane and the cinematics, as there are side characters and more character interactions.

I'm only 2 minutes into the video and I had to pause just to say that I love the fact that you're sitting there smiling, simply because you appreciate this piece of art. It made me smile :D

me: OMG THE EDITING, THE COMPOSITION,that lighting!! the effects! omggg!! that girl : thaz a bear man me :

You and your wife should definitely react to Nekrit's video "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" He explains a little bit about the different regions in Runeterra (the world of league of legends) and what interesting things there might be in those areas for videogames and animates series' to explore in the future.

Your wife should definitely check out the previous cinematics too! You had good chemistry putting it apart.

I love how y'all are calling Volibear "the bear man"

Definitely please rewatch all the past cinematics with your wife. Also check out Riot's Kin of the Stained Blade. Also check out 2019 worlds opening ceremony presented by mastercard, and the 2022 worlds opening ceremony presented by mastercard.

It’s just too badass when you realize Kai’sa is about to Gandalf herself down that hole

Love the reactions, would be cool if your wife joined you and saw other cinematics, even the ones you already saw.

The Arcane is one of the best adaptations made from the written version. Similar to the Lord of the Ring books and film trilogy; IT Chapter 1,2 identical to the book; Harry Potter saga; Dune,... Arcane Season 1 is here and the next one is coming soon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nu9HTOIUxLk.html PS Arcane is a series from League of Legends that deals and will only deal with Shurimans Port City [Kha'Zhun / Osha Va'Zaun] ==> Piltover and Zaun. But they are definitely working on other series from other regions, but they will have a different theme and a different series name. Spoilers about the story that I know about through contacts are quite interesting because they will prepare our characters for their journey so that we can finally see them in the positions of the stories in which they are now. The only thing I will say is that it is more than clear that we will be introduced to other characters and their stories and flashbacks. Plus, we should also get something smaller, more of what was actually between Mr. V. & Mr. S.,... And also League of legends Skin lines are alternate and parallel universes. With stories this good, sometimes it's a much better champion story than in LOL. ;) Well Spirit Guard Udyr, Spirit Blossom and Ruination skin champions are Canon. Riot Games has Games under it League of Legends-LOL ; Teamfight Tactics-TFT ; League of Legends: Wild Rift - LOL WL ; Legends of Runeterra-LOR ; Valorant LOL,TFT,LOL WL have nothing to do with today's and even with the old Summoners Rift stories What concerns the characters still on the old map in the style of Warcraft and similar games from that time and the relationship of the character being played with the Summoner = Player of the game = us. Valorant is already completely out of the question, it's something like Overwatch from Blizzard and similar, with the fact that here in Valorant it's about parallel worlds,... LOR is the world building of Runeterra and similar to the voice line champions cinematics and Some are part Canon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHVeY39IEdA.html And Studio Riot Forge, which creates Canon games as a fun way to discuss and build Runeterra. Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story Ruined King: A League of Legends Story CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story™ May the force be with you. And may you lead the force. 🖐️

I dont know if you have already done a video of it, but you guys should definitely do a video checking out the interactive map they have online. It is really fun to see the whole continent. Piltover and Zaun are teeny tiny compared to the whole continent.

Loved this!

You two nice vibes like you together❤😊

From story side, if you watched arcane, based on lore the characters you saw in the series are one amongst the weakest, they are represented as high tech cities, piltover, upper city using hextech and later-on you'll meet with chemtech technology which will be used in Zaun, lower city. But the true story and best of series will come when Arcane visits other regions where we'll meet literal Gods and deities such as celestials or Aurelion Sol, the Starforger himself. Pantheon (the Spartan guy you saw) is maybe top 10 strongest characters based on lore

If u rly wanna know more about the world then i would take a look at Necrits video called "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" While it is made for the purpose of the upcoming mmo it does explain the whole world of League and it is a very good video to show some1 new.

I love how y'all keep calling volibear bearman it's like he's not even a man he's a literal demigod

For a long time we (the league community) has been saying that Riot is a much better music and film production company than a game developer ^^

If you're really planing to play this game have a team of 5 or atleast 3 it's better having more friends with you than strangers that would...... you know.....

I do love how the female characters are just amazing characters and, I'll echo the statement, don't need to have that "I'm a strong independent woman" vibe. They are badass characters and they never need anything to point to they are female and badass. Idk how to explain it. It's so different than the marvel "girl power" scene in endgame. That's an example of how not to do badass female character and this is an example of how to properly do badass characters. Not even just female ones. In case you didn't know the giant thing that came out of the ground was a queen. Now that's a badass female character lol.

8:56 if only she knew about lol skins x)

Oh yeah league does good with its lore

"Don't play league" Said literally everybody who played League

bro sick green screen

She likes the outfits, and the women not being sexualized? .... don't show her the skins o.o

Great reaction! You should check out the Star Wars the Old Republic cinematic trailers "Sacrifice" and "Betrayed". I think you will really enjoy them ^^

yo asol got a rework

lol the Cinematic is small af

2023 is better

thi thi is a cinematic not that shit they gave us in 2023

enjoy the cinematic animation and music but... stay away from the gameplay

It's funny how epic the cinematics are, but the game looks so shitty.

Everything about LoL is great, except the game itself lol

I dont know for me kai sa is f out of place in cinematics

Most genetically advanced arcane fan < least talented league hater.

now watch the 2023

just that you know Arcane is a animations series who have only named lol characters but nothing to do with the game much more , the game is much worser and super toxic . :) ^^

I love the guy's reaction. His smile is showing how excited he is. That's so awesome. Yall are both great! Keep up the amazing videos, both of yall!

MANtheon

If you want a quick summery of a lot of the lore of this world I would recommend a video called "The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done" by Necrit. It is MMO related, yes, but he really touches on all the regions and the basics of how they work.

I feel like you'd also love reacting to some voicelines, such as Aatrox's ones and the teasers and stuff

Hahaha, your background gave me motion sickness. Opp
